Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
At the University of Birmingham, we foster dynamic collaborations between organisations and our specialist graduate talent through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs).
Businesses of all sizes can participate in KTP and projects can involve any academic field. They are funded by Innovate UK, along with a number of other public bodies, and the host company. The contribution that the company is asked to make varies depending on its size; SMEs can expect to pay less than a large corporate partner would. Deadline dates for applications are:
- 25 September 2024
- 27 November 2024
- 5 February 2025.
The University of Birmingham's KTP Office can help with the development of your KTP application at every stage. We can suggest the right academic to partner with, comment on application documents, and provide HR and post-award support for the duration of the project.
